Like Rodney would have said," My wife's been complaining about a "meat shortage" since our wedding night."
Prayers are with you and the rest of the farmers in the country as you were hit with two hard years in a rowI'm not too worried, but I do think meat will be in short supply at the grocery stores.
By the sounds of it, farmers will have the meat, you may have to butcher it yourself.
We are looking at serious financial issues for both 2019 and 2020 crops.
By this time next year, I may be the Armored Trucker.
Ok Hank jr! I get it!

So many people think if Walmart or Amazon doesnt have it, it's time to <<<panic>>>.
We had better support our local stores, or else get used to eating whatever Walmart has for us. We have (or had) a choice.
You would be surprised by the number of people that think all the corn grown in the corn belt is sweet corn for the table.
Its not.
I am not real worried. Hopefully the mess will result in a lot more smaller and less centralized slaughter operations.Just noticing on the news about a meat shortage. Anyone worried about that? I'm finally getting some of the venison out of the freezers. So long as I have ammo and marauding hogs, I ain't real worried.
I use the Waffle House barometer. if they're open, all is good. if they're closed, start to worry.
In my area Waffle House and Huddle House both are closed. Most other restaurants are either fast food (drive-through only), or the better ones went to curbside and/or delivery. Now that things are starting to loosen, the one I know opened the dining room has reduced their seating capacity to half... social distancing and all. I'd say waitstaff probably got reduced too.
To me, this looks like a good time to set up a chuck wagon and some picnic tables for some open air dining.
I think the general rise in unemployment is more worrisome then the more particular bottleneck at the bigger meat processors. I've heard several different sources say we need to source our domestic meats locally rather than rely on the big centralized supply chain. I wonder, though, whether the jobs will remain lost or be rearranged.
Remembering that this is the hunting forum, am I the only one that anyways misses wearing camo to blend in at the Waffle House?

I agree but I'm not hitting my venison reserves until I have to.
How did you train them to come into the porch?My freezer is full of venison and pork.....(Shot 5 deer off the porch last season)
You shoulda tried Ramin noodles. I was unbelievably skinny when I graduated, 160 lbs and 6 feet tall. That's why I retired. Jobs are fattening.I don't recall loosing much weight in college living on Peanut Butter.....
